[When war sets over thee &c.] there are two opinions: one, that by كليب is meant مُكَالِب (see 2): the other, that it is an inf. n. of كَلِبَتِ الحَرْبُ [“ The war became vehement, severe, or fierce ”]: the former is the more valid. (IM.) كَلَّابٌ: see كَلْبٌ and مُكَلِّبٌ.

(T, Mgh, Msb.) And it is said in a trad., إِذَا اسْتَنْشَقْتَ فَانْثُرْ, (S, Msb,) and فَانْثِرْ, with the conjunctive ا, and with damm and kesr to the ث, (Msb,) When thou snuffest up water, scatter what is in thy nose by the breath; (S;) or eject what is in thy nose, of mucus, &c.: (Msb:) or, as A'Obeyd relates it, ↓ فَأَنْثِرْ; inf. n. إِنْثَارٌ: (Msb:) or, as he relates it إِذَا تَوَضَّاتَ فَأَنْثِرْ, with the disjunctive ا; and he does not explain it; but the lexicologists do not allow ↓ أَنْثَرَ, from الإِنْثَارُ; one only says, نَثَرَ and ↓ انتثر and ↓ استنثر.

No instance of ↓ استنثر used transitively has been heard, except in a trad. of El-Hasan Ibn-'Alee, أَنْفَهُ ↓ اِسْتَنْثَرَ [He ejected the contents of his nose; or he blew his nose]; as though the root [نَثَرَ] were regarded in it, or as though it were made to import the meaning of نَقَّى.

(Er-Rághib, TA.) b2: You say, سَامَتِ المَاشِيَةُ (S, Mgh, Msb, TA) or النَّعَمُ (M) or المَالُ, (K,) aor. ـُ (S, M, Msb,) inf. n. سَوْمٌ, (S, M, Mgh, Msb,) The cattle pastured (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K, TA) by themselves (Msb) where they pleased; and in like manner, الغَنَمُ [the sheep or goats]: or went away at random, or roved, pasturing where they pleased.

[The man, or any one of you,] shall not purchase [in opposition to his brother]: (Mgh, Msb:) and it may mean shall not sell; the case being that of a man's offering to the purchaser his commodity for a certain price, and another's then saying, “I have the like thereof for less than this price: ” so that the prohibition relates in common to the seller and the buyer: (M:) and the saying is also related otherwise, i. e. ↓ لَايَسْتَامُ, meaning shall not purchase. (Mgh.) And it is said in a trad., نَهَى عَنِ السَّوْمِ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ, meaning, accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, أَنْ بِسِلْعَتِهِ ↓ يُسَاوِمَ [i. e. He (Mohammad) forbade the offering a commodity for sale before the rising of the sun]; because that is a time in which God is to be praised, and one should not be diverted by other occupation: or, he says, it may mean the pasturing of camels; because, before sunrise, when the pasturage is moist with dew, it occasions a fatal disease. (TA.) You say also, سُمْتُكَ حَسَنَةً ↓ بَعِيرَكَ سِيمَةً [I have mentioned to thee a good price for thy camel]. (S.) And فِيهِ ↓ اِسْتَامَ غَالِيَةً ↓ سِيمَةً [He demanded for it a dear price].

(Sh, TA. [See also art. عل; and see Freytag's Arab.

سَامٌ Death: (IAar, S, M, Mgh:) and سَامَةٌ [as its n. un.] a death: (IAar, TA:) but the former [signifies the same in Pers\., and] is said to be not Arabic. (TA.) It is related in a trad., respecting the salutation of the Jews, that they used to say, السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ [Death come upon you, instead of السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ]; and that he [i. e. Mo-hammad] used to reply, عَلَيْكُمْ; accord. to the generality of the relaters, وَعَلَيْكُمْ, but correctly without the و, because the و implies participation: and it is related of 'Áïsheh that she used to say to them, عَلَيْكُمُ السَّأْمُ وَالذَّأْمُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ, as mentioned in art. سأم: (TA:) the Jews are also related to have said [to the Muslims], عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ الدَّامُ meaning المَوْتُ الدَّائِمُ. (TA in art. دوم: see دَائِمٌ in that art.) A2: Also A kind of tree, of which are made the masts (أَدْقَال [pl. of دَقَلٌ]) of ships: (Kr, M, TA:) accord. to Sh, (TA,) the [tree called]

خَيْزُرَان. (K, TA. [And accord. to some copies of the K, سَامَةٌ also has this signification, and the signification expl. in the sentence here next following: but accord. to the text of the K as given in the TA, وَالسَّامَةُ has been erroneously substistituted in the copies above referred to for وَالسَّاقَةُ, which, by reason of what precedes it, means that سَامَةٌ also signifies the same as سَاقَةٌ; and if the former reading were right, the context in the K would imply that السامة is also the name of a son of Noah, which is incorrect; the name of that son being only سَامٌ.]) A3: Also A [hollow, or cavity, in the ground, such as is called] نُقْرَة, in which water remains, or stagnates, and collects. (K. [For the verb in this explanation, which is written يُنْقَعُ in the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, I read يَنْقَعُ.]) A4: Also a pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] of which the sing.

(M, TA.) A poet says, (M,) namely, Keys Ibn-El-Khateem, (S,) لَوَ انَّكَ تُلْقِى حَنْظَلًا فَوْقَ بَيْضِنَا تَدَحْرَجَ عَنْ ذِى سَامِهِ المُتَقَارِبِ (S, M,) [i. e. If thou threwest colocynths upon our helmets, they would roll along from what is gilded thereof, they being near together: لَوَ انَّكَ is for لَوْ أَنَّكَ: and] the ه in سَامِهِ relates to the بيض [which are described as] gilded therewith: (S:) the poet is describing the party as being close together in fight, so that colocynths, notwithstanding their smoothness and the evenness of their parts, if they fell upon their heads, would not reach the ground. (Th, S, * M.) سَوْمٌ [is originally an inf. n.: see 1, passim: A2: and is also used as a subst. signifying The price of any commodity, or article of merchandise; like

↓ سِيمَةٌ and ↓ سُومَةٌ]. You say, سَأَلْتُهُ سَوْمَهَا, and ذَكَرَ لِى سَوْمَهَا, referring to a سِلْعَة [or commodity]: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph.

And ↓ إِنَّهُ لَغَالِى السِّيمَةِ (S, M, K) and ↓ السُّومَةِ, meaning السَّوْمِ [i. e. Verily it is dear in price]. (M, K.) ↓ سِيمَةٌ and ↓ سُومَةٌ are both substs. from سَامَ as used in the phrase سَامَنِى الرَّجُلُ بِسِلْعَتِهِ [and the like]; (TA;) syn. with قِيمَةٌ.

(S.) سِيمَةٌ: see سَوْمٌ, in five places: A2: and see also سُومَةٌ, in two places. [For the meanings “ pactus ” and “ pastum missus,” assigned to it by Golius, as from the S, and copied by Freytag, I find no foundation.]

[Tarry ye, and ye will be] secure [in my land]: IAth says that thus it is explained: and سيوم is [said to be] an Abyssinian word: it is related also with fet-h to the س: and some say that سُيُومٌ is pl. of سَائِمٌ [like as شُهُودٌ is said to be of شَاهِدٌ]; i. e., ye shall rove (تَسُومُونَ) in my country like the sheep, or goats, pasturing where they please (كَالغَنَمِ السَّائِمَةِ), no one opposing you: (TA:) or, as some relate the trad., it is شُيُومٌ.

أَيْنَمَا اتَّكَأَ عَلَى صُوفٍ [Like the lamb: wherever he reclines, he reclines upon wool]: (JK, TA: but in the latter, اتّكى:) applied to him who leads a soft and delicate life. (TA.) b2: Also, (sometimes, S,) A colt; the male offspring of a mare; when he has attained the age of six months, or seven months; (S, K;) a meaning assigned to it by As, in the “ Book of the Horse; ” but unknown to Abu-l-Ghowth: (S:) or, until a year old: (ISk, K:) it is said by some to be applied to a horse: in the L it is said that the خروف of horses is such as is brought forth in the [season called] خَرِيف: but Khálid Ibn-Jebeleh says that it means such as pastures upon the [herbage of the season called] خَرِيف: and Suh thinks that it is an epithet applied to a horse, and any beast, as meaning that depastures the trees and herbage. (TA.) خَرِيفٌ Fresh ripe dates, (K, TA,) or fruits [in general], (S, TA,) gathered, or plucked; (S, K, TA;) as also ↓ مَخْرُوفٌ. (S, TA. See also مَخْرَفٌ, last sentence. [And see خُرْفَةٌ.]) b2: And hence, (tropical:) Fresh milk; milk recently drawn from the udder. (Hr, TA.) b3: Palm-trees (نَخْلٌ) whereof the quantity of the fruit that is upon them is computed by conjecture. (K. [See also خَرَائِفُ, voce خَرِيفَةٌ.]) b4: [The autumn;] one of the divisions of the year, (S, Mgh,) the division (Msb) [consisting of] three months between the end of the قَيْظ [or summer] and the beginning of the شِتَآء

[or winter], (Lth, K, *) in which the fruits are gathered. (Lth, S, Mgh, Msb, K.) b5: And hence, (Mgh, TA,) (assumed tropical:) A year: (Mgh, K, TA:) so in the saying, مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِى سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ بَاعَدَهُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ النَّارِ أَرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا أَوْ سَبْعِينَ, i. e. [Whoso fasteth a day in the way of God, God will remove him from the fire of Hell] to the distance of a journey of forty years, or seventy. (Mgh: and similar exs. are given in the TA, from three trads.: see also an ex. voce إِنَّ.) b6: Also The rain of the season so called: (S, K:) or the rain, (JK,) or the first of the rain, (K,) in the beginning of the شِتَآء [or winter], (JK, K,) which comes at the time of the cutting off of the fruit of the palmtrees: then follows the وَسْمِىّ, at the coming in of the winter; then, the رَبِيع; then, the صَيْف; and then, the حَمِيم: so says As: El-Ghanawee says that the خريف is between the [auroral] rising of الشِّعْرَى [or Sirius, which commenced, in central Arabia, about the epoch of the Flight, on the 13th of July, O. S.,] and the [auroral] setting of العَرْقُوَتَانِ [or الفَرْغَانِ, the 26th and 27th of the Mansions of the Moon, commencing, in the same region and period, on the 8th and 21st of Sept., O. S., and continuing thirteen days]: El-Ghowr and Rekeeyeh [? (imperfectly written)] and El-Hijáz are all rained upon by the خريف; but Nejd is not: Az says, the first rain is the وَسْمِىّ; the follows the شَتَوِىّ; then, the دَفَئِىّ; then, the صَيْف; then, the حَمِيم; then, the خَرِيف: and therefore the year is made to consist of six seasons: accord. to AHn, [who seems in this matter to differ from most others,] الخريف is not originally the name of the division of the year; but the name of the rain of the قَيْظ [or summer]; and then the season was named thereby. (TA.) [See also نَوْءٌ.] b7: [Also The herbage of the season so called, or of the rain so called; like as رَبِيعٌ signifies the “ herbage of the season, or of the rain, so called. ” So in the phrase used by Khálid Ibn-Jebeleh (in explaining the word خَرُوف), مَا رَعَى الخَرِيفَ Such as pastures upon the خريف.] b8: Also, accord. to AA, (TA,) A rivulet, streamlet, or small channel for irrigation. (JK, K, TA.) خُرَافَةٌ i. q. خُرْفَةٌ, q. v. (Mgh, K.) b2: Hence خُرَافَاتٌ meaning Stories that are deemed pretty: similar to فُكَاهَةٌ from فَاكِهَةٌ: (Mgh:) [or] خُرَافَةُ was the name of a man, (S, Mgh, K,) of [the tribe of] 'Odhrah, (S, K,) whom the Jinn (or Genii) fascinated, (S, Mgh, K,) as the Arabs assert, (Mgh,) and carried off, (TA,) and who related what he had seen, (S, Mgh, K,) of them, when he returned, (Mgh,) and they pronounced him a liar, and said, (S, Mgh, K,) of a thing that was impossible, (Mgh,) حَدِيثُ خُرَافَةَ [a story of Khuráfeh]: (S, Mgh, K:) but it is related of the Prophet, that he said, خُرَافَةُ حَقٌّ, (S, Mgh,) meaning What Khuráfeh relates [as heard] from the Jinn [is true]: (Mgh:) the ر is without teshdeed; and the article ال is not prefixed, because the word is determinate [by itself], unless one mean thereby خُرَافَاتٌ as signifying fictictious night-stories: (S:) or خُرَافَةٌ signifies a fictitious story that is deemed pretty: (Lth, K:) [and ↓ أَخَارِيفُ app. signifies the same as خُرَافَاتٌ, as though its sing. were أُخْرُوفَةٌ, like as أَسَاطِيرُ and أَحَادِيثُ, which have similar meanings, are pls. of which the sings. are said to be أَسْطُورَةٌ and أُحْدُوثَةٌ:] see 1, last signification.

خَرُوفَةٌ: see what next follows.

خَرِيفَةٌ and ↓ خَرُوفَةٌ A palm-tree (نَخْلَةٌ) of which a man gathers, or plucks, the fruit for himself and his household; as also ↓ مَخْرَفٌ: (AHn:) or a palm-tree which one takes for the picking up of its fresh ripe dates: (Sh, O, K:) or the latter signifies a palm-tree of which the fruit is cut off; being of the measure فَعُولَةٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ: and the former is said to signify one that is set apart for its fruit that is [to be] gathered, or plucked: (TA:) or a selected palm-tree: (JK:) and its pl. is خَرَائِفُ: (JK, TA:) or خَرَائِفُ signifies palmtrees whereof the quantity of the fruit that is upon them is computed by conjecture. (Az, S, K. [See also خَرِيفٌ.]) Also, the former, [A palm-tree set in the manner described in the following explanation:] one's digging, for a palm-tree, in a water-course, or channel of a torrent, in which are pebbles, until reaching hard ground, and then filling up the hollow with sand, and setting the palm-tree therein. (O, K.) خَارِفٌ A keeper, or watcher, of palm-tree: (K:) pl. خُرَّافٌ. (TA.) أَخَارِيفُ: see خُرَافَةٌ; and see 1, last signification.

مَخْرَفٌ The place of the gathering, or plucking, or cutting off, of fruit. (Msb.) A place of abode of a people, or party, during their خَرِيف. (TA. [It is there added, “as though formed from أَخْرَفُوا, by the rejection of the augmentative letter: ” but it is rather to be regarded as regularly formed, from خَرَفُوا: see 1.]) b2: Also A garden; (Mgh, TA;) and so ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ: (S, K:) or a garden of palm-trees; as also ↓ مَخْرِفٌ and ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ: (TA:) a single palm-tree: or a few palm-trees, up to ten; more than these being termed a بُسْتَان or a حَدِيقَة: (El-Harbee, TA:) see also خَرِيفَةٌ: or a small collection of palmtrees, six or seven, which a man purchases for the fruit that is [to be] gathered, or plucked: or any collection of palm-trees: (L, TA:) or a walled garden of palm-trees: (IAth, TA:) or palm-trees [absolutely]: (Mgh:) and an avenue between two rows of palm-trees, such that one may gather, or pluck, the fruit from whichever of them he will; (K;) as also ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ: (Sh, K:) and, (S, Mgh, K,) as also ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ, (S, K,) a road, (S, Mgh, K,) such as is conspicuous, clear, or open: (K:) pl. مَخَارِفُ. (Mgh, TA.) It is said in a trad., عَائِدُ المَرِيضِ عَلَى مَخَارِفِ الجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ, i. e. The visitor of the sick is as though he were in the gardens of Paradise until he returns: or upon the palm-trees of Paradise; gathering, or plucking, their fruits: or upon the roads of Paradise: (Mgh, * TA:) or, as some relate it, الجنّةِ ↓ على مَخْرَفَةِ. (TA. [See also another explanation, and other readings in what follows.]) And it is said in a trad. of 'Omar, النَّعَمِ ↓ تَرَكْتُكُمْ عَلَى مَخْرَفَةِ, (S,) or تُرِكْتُمْ, (TA,) i. e. [I have left you, or ye have been left,] upon a conspicuous road, like the road of the camels, (As, S, * TA,) which they have trodden with their feet so that it has become plainly apparent. (As, TA.) b3: Also Gathered, or plucked, fruit of palm-trees: (As, A 'Obeyd, IAmb, K:) a correct meaning, though IKt says that the proper word in this sense is only مَخْرُوفٌ: it is like مَشْرَبٌ and مَطْعَمٌ and مَرْكَبٌ as meaning مَشْرُوبٌ and طَعَامٌ مَأْكُولٌ and مَرْكُوبٌ; and may signify fresh ripe dates gathered or plucked: (IAmb, TA:) pl. as above. (As, &c.) So in the former of the two trads. mentioned above accord. to As and A 'Obeyd: (TA:) and this interpretation is corroborated by another reading, i. e., على الجنّةِ ↓ خُرْفَةِ: (Mgh:) another reading is, فِى

الجنّةِ ↓ خِرَافِ: [see خَرَافٌ:] and another, لَهُ فِى الجَنَّةِ ↓ خَرِيفٌ, i. e. [The visitor of the sick shall have] gathered fruits in Paradise. (TA.) مَخْرِفٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

مُخْرِفٌ: see 4.

مِخْرَفٌ The thing in which fruits are gathered; (S, Har p. 374;) called by the Arabs خَافَةٌ: (Har ib.:) a [basket of the kind called] مِكْتَل, (Msb,) or زِنْبِيل, of small size, in which the best fresh ripe dates are gathered: (O, K:) pl. مَخَارِفُ. (A, TA.) One says, خَرَجُوا إِلَى المَخَارِفِ بالمَخَارِفِ, i. e. They went forth to the gardens with the baskets (زُبُل) [for gathering fruit]. (A, TA.) b2: And hence, (assumed tropical:) The basket (زنبيل) in which the importunate beggar puts his food. (Har ubi suprà.) مَخْرَفَةٌ: see مَخْرَفٌ, in six places.

مَخْرُوفٌ: see خَرِيفٌ.

A2: Also Rained upon by the rain called خَرِيف; pl., applied to men, مَخْرُوفُونَ: (TA:) [so, too, applied to a beast:] and so, with ة, applied to land (أَرْض). (As, S.) مُخَارَفٌ Denied, or refused, good, or prosperity; prevented, or withheld, from obtaining good, good fortune, or sustenance; (K;) i. q. مُحَارَفٌ; (JK, TA;) as also مُجَارَفٌ. (TA.)

(M.) b2: And He, or it, [swept away; or took away, or carried off, in every direction: and] dispersed: (M, K:) and removed, took off, or stripped off, a thing from a thing which it covered. (M * A, * K.) You say, سَفَرَتِ الرِّيحُ التُّرَابَ, and الوَرَقَ, (assumed tropical:) The wind swept away the dust, and the leaves: or too them away, or carried them off, in every direction. (M.) and سَفَرَت ِ الرِّيحُ الغَيْمَ (assumed tropical:) The wind dispersed the clouds: (M, TA:) or (assumed tropical:) removed the clouds from the face of the sky. (A, * TA.)

(Mgh.) b3: Hence, i. e. from سَفَرَتْ meaning “ she uncovered her face,” (M,) سَفَرْتُ بَيْنَ القَوْمِ, (S, M, Mgh, * Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (S, Msb, K) and سَفُرَ, (K,) inf. n. سِفَارَةٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and سَفَارَةٌ and سَفْرٌ, (K,) (assumed tropical:) I made peace, effected a reconciliation, or adjusted a difference, between the people; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) because he who does so exposes what is in the mind of each party: (TA:) or I exposed what was in the mind of this and the mind of this in order to make peace, &c., between the people.

(Msb. [See 3, the verb commonly used in this sense.]) b7: [Hence, app,] سَفَرَ شَحْمُهُ (tropical:) His fat went away. (A, TA.) b8: and سَفَرَتِ الحَرْبُ (tropical:) The war declined; syn. وَلَّت.

(Msb.) b5: And He entered upon the time of dawn, or daybreak; (M;) or the time when the dawn became white. (K.) The Prophet said, أَسْفِرُوا بِالفَجْرِ, meaning Perform ye the prayer of daybreak when ye enter upon the time in which the dawn shines, or becomes white: (S, * Msb:) or when the dawn has become manifest, so that there is no doubt respecting it, every one knowing it to be the true dawn when he sees it; accord. to EshSháfi'ee and Ibn-Hambal and others: (T, TA:) or prolong ye the prayer of daybreak until ye enter upon the time when the dawn becomes white: (S, TA:) some say that it relates especially to nights in [the end of] which the moon shines, because in such the commencement of daybreak is not manifest: (TA:) or أَسْفَرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ means he performed prayer in the shining of the dawn: and the ب is for the purpose of making the verb transitive. (Mgh.) b6: اسفرت الحَرْبُ (tropical:) The war became vehement. (A, K.) A2: See also 1, last sentence but one.5 تسفّر means أَتَى بِسَفَرٍ, (O, K,) i. e.

(O, K, TA.) A3: تسفّر الجِلْدُ The skin received, or had, a mark, or an impression: (O, K:) from سَفْرٌ meaning أَثَرٌ.

(S, M.) b2: With respect to the saying of Aboo-Sakhr El-Hudhalee, زلِلَيْلَى بِذَاتِ البَيْنِ دَارٌعَرَفْتُهَا وَأُخْرَى بِذَاتِ الجَيْشِ آيَاتُهَاسِفْرُ Skr says, [the poet means,] the marks, or traces, thereof had become effaced: [accordingly, the verse may be rendered, To Leylà there was in Dhát-el-Beyn an abode that I knew, and another in Dhát-el-Jeysh whereof the marks, or traces, are effaced:] IJ says, [app. holding the meaning to be, the marks, or traces, whereof are (like those of) an ancient book, such as a portion of the Mosaic Law,] the last word should be from the phrase سَفَرْتُ البَيْتَ, i. e. “ I swept the house, or chamber; ” as though the writing were swept off from the طِرْس [or “ written paper ” or the like, to which the poet seems to compare the site of the abode in Dhát-el-Jeysh]. (M, TA.) سَفَرٌ Journey, or travel; the act of journeying or travelling; (S, A, K;) contr. of حَضَرٌ: (M, K:) thus called because of the going and coming in it, like the going and coming of the wind sweeping away fallen leaves: (M:) or the act of going forth to journey; an inf. n. used as a simple subst.: (Msb:) [therefore] the pl. is أسْفَارٌ: (S, M, A, Msb, K:) [and therefore it is often used as a n. un.; but, properly speaking, the n. un. is ↓ سَفْرَةٌ:] you say, كَانَتْ سَفْرَتُهُ قَرِيبَةً [His journey was near]: and the pl. of سَفْرَةٌ, accord. to rule, is سَفَرَاتٌ. (Msb.) In law, [as relating to the obligation of fasting &c.,] The going forth with the intention of performing a journey of three days and nights, or more. (KT.) A2: Also The whiteness of dawn or daybreak: (A:) or the whiteness of the day: (S, M:) and i. q. صَبَاحٌ [dawn, or morning, or forenoon; but app. here used in the first of these senses]: (M:) and ↓ سَفِيرٌ, the whiteness [of the sky] before night: (A, TA:) or the former, the remains of the whiteness of day after sunset. (K.) You say سَفَرًا i. e. صَبَاحًا [app. as meaning In the dawn]. (A.) And the prose-rhymer says, إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشِّعْرَى سَفَرًا لَمْ تَرَفِيهَا مَطَرًا (S, * TA) i. e. When Sirius rises in the whiteness of day [meaning in the clear twilight of morning, thou seest not then rain: for Sirius rises aurorally, in Arabia, in the middle and the latter half of July, when rain scarcely ever falls there]. (S. [Accord. to the TA, the meaning, app. taken without consideration from one of the foregoing explanations of سَفَرٌ, is, when Sirius rises at nightfall: but this is during the usual winter-rains.]) You say also, لَقِيتُهُ سَفَرًا, and فِى سَفَرٍ, meaning ↓ عِنْدَاسْفِرَارِ الشَّمْسِ لِلغُرُوبِ, thus related, with س [in the word اسفرار (not with ص), and app. meaning I met him when the sun was becoming white, previously to the setting]. (M.) And بَقِىَ سَفَرٌ مِنْ نَهَارٍ [There remained a white gleam of daylight]. (A.) سَفْرَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.
